Caprica: End Of Line (s1e9)
Posted by Simon in Television on 28. Mar, 2010 | 2 Comments
Taking a page out of the Battlestar playbook, Caprica is executing its first season like BSG did its last — by splitting it into two halves. I found the final 0.5 season of BSG to be some of the most disappointing television I’ve ever seen, so one can only hope that Caprica will not befall [...]

From what we’ve seen so far, Caprica is at its best when it focuses on just a few quality stories and tells them with meticulous fervour. This can often stand in stark contradiction to the ambitious, sprawling, ever expanding universe Caprica is simultaneously trying to craft.

For many shows, the second episode after the pilot is usually the best indicator of what to expect on a weekly basis. Subscribing to that philosophy, I believe fans of Battlestar Galactica are really, really going to like Caprica. Faux intimacy via cinema-vérité? Check.
